Fall Fashion Trends 2015

Lately I've been working on my project for my fashion marketing class. And to be honest, I was surprised by all the information I've gathered. Stick with me if you wanna know the latest Autumn trends for this year. 

For my project, I had to based it off by 4 components of fashion: 

-Silhouette: The outlining/contour of the overall piece of apparel.

-Details: Embellishments or accessories that give the outfit a bit of definition. 

-Texture: The way it feels such as the material made into the clothing. 

-Color: Basically, the color palette that speaks to the clothes or trends in season. 

First, the overall silhouette I've found were mermaid skirts, Bell sleeved, and Flared jeans. The mermaid silhouette gives the body a nice shape and elongates the legs. Bell sleeved are priceless with its extraordinary flow around the arms. And Flared jeans could never go wrong during the cold weather.

The details that are commonly used for this Autumn are Fringes, lace, Brooches, and crochets. I never knew that brooches were in season, but they do have a share of giving that outfit a nice touch. Crochets are nice because it gives off that Autumn effect (if you know what I mean).

Texture is important for this season due to the colder weather. Some material such as Tulle, Fur, and Shearling are used for most outfits. I could understand that shearling should be used for these outfits because they're basically wool, but at a different level.

The color trend for this season are your favorite fall colors including different shades within them. I'm surprised that these shades are named. Pantone is a great resource for the color trends.

Loving the cold weather! Let me know what you guys like to wear during Autumn and hopefully you'll be knowledgable for this season.

Fall colors are in season

Autumn has finally reach its mark which means a wardrobe change. I'm so excited to wear my favorite cardigans, boots, thigh socks, and beanies. The most important aspect about fall is to embrace their cool shades of color. 

Color of the leaves are one example to be part of the autumn season. Orange, brown, dark reds, and black can be your go-to pigmentation. Reflecting the beauty of the leaves as they decay. Try a light brown cardigan with dark red (maroon) pants and a simple black shirt. Be creative mixing n' matching other clothes. Creating an outfit by this theme shows your autumn spirit. 

Remember that colors aren't tolerated to one kind. The palette has a variety of shades that ranges. You can even wear your whole outfit to one kind of color. All pieces of clothing don't have to be the exact same color, so be bold and collect as many shades as you can. The best thing about dressing in the fall is that they have more shades than the rest of the other seasons.

I seriously love autumn not only because you get to wear your cozy outfits, but you can go with the theme. Be as expressive as you can for this season because autumn will eventually go by quick. Also, do enjoy the upcoming holidays and sweet treats. Stay warm loves!

How to decide what to wear

Each day is a whole new world. This means that we need an outfit to compliment the day. But sometimes we have no inspiration that we're left with a plain T-shirt and jeans. Don't worry, there are easy ways to get dress without looking too minimal. 

Let's start by choosing clothes on the mood you're feeling. You could feel lazy on Mondays, edgy on Tuesday, or even wear pink on Wednesdays. Reflect yourself on what you want to feel like today. Some suggestions include holidays, seasons, emotions, creativity, and more. You could never go wrong with matching clothes by how you feel. Presenting how you feel can boost your confidence and shows your true self. 

Colors do wonders in getting ready for the day. From warm to cool shades, you have a variety to choose from. Since autumn is coming, how about using autumn leave colors to reflect the season. A variety of palettes to choose from. You may even go by a theme of a color you choose for the day and mixing it up with similar shades. Colors give you personality and attention. 

Last tip to rummaging through your closet is to find pieces that can perfectly match any day. What I mean is that find a shirt or pants that can be easily worn without looking mismatched. A simple T-shirt or a pair of jeans are an easy way to start your day, but try to add some attention to make it less boring. Add a plaid cardigan to warm up that outfit or you may even wanna put on some accessories. Also, it's okay to wear the same pieces throughout the week. Be sure you add a little something extra so nobody will notice. 

I try these methods to help me pass the week without looking too dull. Hopefully, you guys can learn something. As always, smiles are the best accessories.

Back to school: Stay organized

One thing that affects our time and grades would be organization. Let's get it straight. We all have been through this situation from looking through cluttered backpacks to messy desks. Then, we end up losing our precious papers. But don't worry, there are some easy tips to be prepared. 

1) Use a schedule/calendar

I heard this is a holy grail to all your problems. I remember neglecting this step, but seriously it's the most important rule you should never put off. I find it easier to plan out my day and stick with it. By the end of the day, my life became so much easier and I saved so much time. 

You can buy a calendar at any store for as little as $3 or find any way to schedule out the day. I used my notes app on my phone and just record any necessarily work to be done the next day. You should record any important events, work, or activities. This reminds you what needs to be done before goofing off. What's better is that once you check off each item, you'll feel at ease knowing how much crap you completed contributing to less stress.

2) Labeling 

All journals, books, and folders are either plain or colorful. The good thing is that having colorful essentials makes it easier to pinpoint which is which. Try specifying different colors for different courses like Algebra is red, Chemistry is green, and History is purple. If you have a problem finding the right color for a specific school supply on a course then you can always color a piece of paper and tape it to your school supply. Different ways to label your stuff. And it doesn't have to be colors, you can use shapes or just write down the course. Be creative and have fun with it.

3) Keep everything in place 

First, spot out your workplace (Desk, Dinner table, bedroom, living room, etc.) Organize the area by keeping it tidy and clean. Discard any unnecessary papers and place your work essentials in a nice spot. Try dividing them up by writing tools, books, and electronics. A clean area makes it simple for you to not get distracted nor affect your time. 

4) Seek for help 

Lots of times we can easily forget the most important assignment once school is over. But it doesn't mean there's no way to know what was due, so make sure you keep in contact with your classmates or friends. Use your phone to keep in touch like texting, social media, or calling. People are your number #1 source for information so ask than to worry.

5) Stop procrastination 

Last tip to avoiding any cost of cluttered life is to stop procrastinating. Simply, it's the job that you have to overcome in order to stop any buildup of stress and disorganization. We all don't have the motive to finish work because we can be so lazy or it's just too boring. But remember that checking off each thing on your to-do list can make you feel so satisfied. Just think about all the free time you could be having if you manage your stress, time, and organization. 

Hopefully, these tips will help you on your journey to a new school year. If you're not in school, then I hope some of these tips apply to your life. 

XOXO

Fashion life hack: Summer pieces to spice your outfit

Different seasons comes with different looks. Since it's summer, presenting your outfits with that vibe is crucial. Here are some pieces to give your clothes a more summery feel: 

You'll need: 

-sunglasses 

-Hair ties 

-Flash Tattoos 

-Sandal Jewelry 

-Tropical head crown 

1) Sunglasses 

Protecting the eyes is very important. At the same time, you'll be able to look stylish with your favorite pair of sunglasses. It's the basic fashion statement, but it'll definitely show off your summer look. And taking a selfie under a bright day would look amazing. Even if you're not into wearing sunglasses, you can always hang them in your shirt. An accessory you can't forget about. 

2) Hair ties 

Okay, hair ties are interchangeable from ponytails to hugging the wrists. Plus, it's a bonus while wearing a t-shirt. How? Well, all you need to do is take a hair tie and just tie the lower part of your shirt (either from left or right) then voila! You got yourself a new look kinda like a crop top, but much cuter. Always keep a handy hair tie with you because hey, there may be times you need to pull your hair back or shirt. 

3) Flash Tattoos 

Omg! My favorite summertime essentials are flash tats. They're super cool to wear like at night times. Brightening your smile and clothes and giving off a tropical bohemian is wonderful. I prefer ones either the wrist, arms, tummy, or hands. I've seen some in Sephora, but it can be a little pricey. But there's always diy flash tats if you want an alternative.

4) Sandal Jewelry  

Or as some people call them, "Barefoot Sandal Thongs." I think these foot jewelry are super adorable because they shimmer and give off personality. When going barefoot, always have your feet styled. I know it's a weird thing to do, but it really completes the look. It's great when wearing a maxi dress at the beach as it flows through the sunset and your sandal accessory shining with passion.

5) Tropical Head Crown

The last go-to summer items are tropical head crowns. Just like flower crowns, but a more appropriate touch for summer. You could never go wrong with these. Wearing them makes you look like a Hawaiian  goddess. I think this last item looks beautiful in any apparel. They're also easy to make if you're into diy crafting. 

That's it! A few pieces that can make your outfit stand out under the sun. But the last thing I always believe is a great accessory is to smile, so keep that in mind. Enjoy your summer while it last! 

See ya next time! Ciao ^__^

Fashion life hack series: How to color match your clothes w/ neutrals

Everywhere we go there's color. It's a blessing to have this creation because it's the art to express things. Same for our clothing, they can be express by defining ourselves. But how do they compliment each other? A variety of pigmentation to choose from, yet it can be hard to mix n' match. So let's begin our journey shall we!

The very basic tool that you'll ever need are neutrals. Yep, they're the basic colors that you know and love. 

For instance... 

-White 

-Black 

-Brown

-Navy 

-Grey 

These colors fit pretty much with all colors especially black. They make great supporting pieces when fusing colors for one outfit. Here's a trick you can use, it called the one color call. Basically, pick one non neutral color and then for the rest of the outfit go with neutral. Also, you can use more than one neutral color, but to play it safe, try not to go beyond more than two. Here's an example...

-Pink blouse, black skirt, navy blazer

-White V neck, red undershirt, Black jeans 

-Light purple shirt, grey sweater, white pants

This method works well on patterned or small details such as check print, stripes, belts, earrings, etc. Neutrals are your life savers so don't neglect them. 

Hope you guys like this post. If you want to see more color matching guides then tell me in the comments.
